Whispering wind carry me away

by Lu   Jan 20, 2006


The whispering wind
carries my thoughts away
to memories of many years ago
when I would run , laugh and play

Through fields of green grass
chasing butterflies in the sun
barefoot and carefree
oh , how I loved to run

Lay upon a bed of silky sand
warm water tickling my toes
a gentle breeze rides the waves
river's fresh fragrant rose

Twirl in delight within raindrops
skip and jump with glee
see reflections upon puddles
a happy child smiling back at me

Gaze at twinkling magic in the sky
make a wish upon a falling star
ask Grandma a silly question
is heaven really all that far

Sleep in a tree-house under the moonlight
as crickets play a song in my ear
listen to the trees crackling branches
a curious child with no fear

Wake with the rising sun
start a new wonderful day
the days of youth now numbered
that I can run , laugh and play

When I'm feeling cranky and blue
my childhood thoughts will carry me away
to the peace and beauty of my youth
a wonderful ending , to a grown-up day

    OH MY GOD! have i ever told you your amazing? because you truly are. the way you wrote this was masterful. the creativeity and the way you arrange the words.
    'Twirl in delight within raindrops
    skip and jump with glee
    see reflections upon puddles
    a happy child smiling back at me'

    I would have never thought to arrange that last line half as good as you. i could feel the happiness within this poem, and believe me, i really, really don't say that often. A truly happy and 'feel good' piece. i could imagine everthing. every line i read sparked off images, and a smile to my face. i love your work very much.

    wow! this is simply amazing! I got goosebumps reading it. this really hit home and brought back so many wonderful memories. I remember it just like it was yesterday. there are so many great stanzas but I chose that one up there because it touched me the most. I remember asking my grandmother questions like that and also going outside and wishing upon the twinkling stars.

    beautiful poem! one of my favorites :)
